A memo drafted by House Intelligence Committee Republicans about alleged Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse is yielding unusual party unity, even among lawmakers who routinely rebel against party leaders on surveillance policy.
Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a Silicon Valley Democrat who has led efforts to end various types of “backdoor searches” under FISA, told the Washington Examiner she read the memo, but does not want it released.
"It was not a long memo," she said. “It was crafted in a way that would create a misimpression based on classified information that I’ve reviewed long ago and cites sources that are highly classified."

They don’t want anything to happen to Obama.
If the memo was about Trump, the dems would have already leaked it
I wish there was this much discussion when they renewed and expanded FISA.
Translation:
It would tell the truth, and the truth is very, very bad for Democrats.
Surprise, surprise: the party that stands to suffer if the truth comes out is the one that opposes the truth being known.
Reminds me of an old joke: “Your honor, I protest!”
“What is it this time?”
“Council is destroying my case!”
The DNC needs a purging. Let them fall on their their corruption and abuses and rise no more.
That’s right..I think this stuff is just fanning the fames for civil unrest, since they know what’s about to go down.
does anyone see a security issue with millions of illegal occupiers, and the government officials breaking Federal laws to aid and abet them?
Consistently inconsistent.
“If the memo was about Trump, the dems would have already leaked it”
If the memo was about Trump it would have been mailed to every household and the GOP would have helped.
Won’t somebody please catch a cold or the flu and leak it already?
“The truth shall set you free.” The truth is Enemy #1 for Democrat-Socialists.
Screw the democrats. Release it!
The Republicans are the majority. There is no good reason that this has not been released already. Something is fishy here, and I am wondering if this will ever be released.
Liberals are scared to death!!
There hasn’t been this much grasping at straw since the flying monkeys tore the Scarecrow apart.
Notice that she didn't say, "...and cites sources that are highly questionable".
“Something is fishy here, and I am wondering if this will ever be released.”
With each passing day the memo’s credibility gets shredded and the likelihood of its release diminishes.
SOTU is the best hope but a very very long shot.
The fact that the dems stand united against releasing it is telling - if it is true, they should want to make a show of punishing/ostracizing those who committed the crimes. if it is “misleading” then they should welcome the chance to debunk it and throw it in our faces....their way of rallying around Obama and Hillary even though both seem to be trying to stay under the RADAR lately...
I don’t understand why Congress gets to vote on whether We the People can see this or not? Perhaps President Trump can release it.
